diff: release blobs after generating textual diff.

This reduces the memory pressure when dealing with many paths.

An unscientific test of running "diff-tree --stat --summary -M"
between v2.6.19 and v2.6.20-rc1 in the linux kernel repository
indicates that the number of minor faults are reduced by 2/3.
